Fodor's Expert Review Amalia Hotel

The central location and competitive prices are the main attractions here for most visitors—it's right on one of Athens's biggest, busiest streets, directly across from Parliament, but double-glazed windows (fortunately) and a view to the pretty National Garden keep things peaceful inside. Guest rooms are fresh and inviting, there is a rich buffet breakfast, and the hotel is very close to transport: the airport shuttle is next door, and the metro and tram are just a few steps away.
